Crazy LittleThing - would you be so kind to email me a scan of the setlist and ticket (webmaster@queenconcerts.com)? Also, were both It's A Beautiful Day remix and Eminem's Lose Yourself used as the intro? And where exactly in the setlist was Rock'n'Roll Fantasy?
Thanks

Man... I wanted BAD COMPANY from the moment they announced the tour... Lucky bastards... And there won't be any downloads- bollocks...
Was "Crazy Little Thing" played, or not? Not that it matters much, but anyway...

Bad Company and Rock & Roll Fantasy ripped it up. The crowd loved every second of it. Let them play what they like. It was fucking brilliant. A joyous experience. People were there for the band and the music. Queen fans galore.
And for whoever asked, the whole population of the island is 100,000 people. The venue capacity was 5000 at the VERY most and it was packed to overflow capacity.
They even had a celeb. One of the actresses from That 70s Show was there, along with people from the US, Canada, England, Austria, Germany, Brazil, Venezuala, Holland and who knows where else. Truly an international audience. The heat and humidity were astonishing but the band was absolutely on fire. Terrific, stupendous, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Can't say enough superlatives.[/QUOTE]
Great to hear that!
People forget that the setlist doesn`t have to change unless they tour again at the same places. For first timers it`s alright.
I think you`re asking too much for a band that hasn`t tour for 20 years. You don`t see other bands change setlists, so why Queen?
For me, they are in the top five live bands today, and still growing stronger again!
Take care

My recollection is that they did play it, but the whole weekend was a whirlwind, to say nothing of the actual show, that its hard to remember precisely. I'm almost certain they did and never thought otherwise til I saw that setlist posted without it. I'll be happy to stand corrected if anyone else who attended remembers differently.

Cool changes!
I always hoped that they would have played Bad Company and Rock 'n'Roll Fantasy...! Two fantastic songs!
Pity they didn't ad new Queen songs to the set.. but I'm happy with this also.
I hope that Aruba has bootleggers as well....

It seems that everyone is saying they only played for 2 hours even.They will probably play a little longer in New Jersey and Hollywood,like they did in the UK and that will get a few more songs put back in.Just have to wait to see if they are songs we havent already heard so far.They know have an entire week to fool around and add a few things if they want to.
I agree that the two US shows will be slightly longer. The Aruba thing was a music festival aswell and bands typically play shorter sets at these type of things.

They played about 2 hours and 10 minutes, from about 8:30 til about 10:40. They were the only act on the bill and had the whole evening to themselves. They had no reason to play an abbreviated set and I don't think they played any shorter set than they would have otherwise. They were just trying out a new set. A dry run for the US dates.
I'm not trying to be argumentative with anybody. I just want people to have realistic expectations. If people go in thinking they're going to hear "Long Away" and "Its Late" and "Dragon Attack" and "Innuendo", they're going to be disappointed because they expected something that almost certainly isn't going to happen. If you look at the songs they took out and the songs they added, they're removing stuff that wasn't as well known in North America and replacing it with stuff that is very well known in North America. The audience in Aruba was absolutely joyous to see the band play and play so well, and I would hate for somebody to miss out on experiencing that kind of feeling at the US shows because they're upset that the band didn't do something that they probably weren't going to do in the first place.
Trust me, unless you're a poodle, you will be knocked out by the set they played. They absolutely rocked. And if they play a set full of album tracks, I'll be happy to eat my words - especially if somebody sends me a boot of the show.

I want '39 back, dammit!! :-)
I still think that the setlist may be tweaked for the US.
I realistically expect "Now I'm Here"-it's on the Great Hits CD that everyone has in their collections, Brian did it in 1993 fall solo tour and pulled it off nicely, and well I personally suggested to Brian that they should play it here (LOL)

LONG AWAY already had been in the set, even if it was only in Budapest or so, and DRAGON ATTACK at least was rehearsed during some soundchecks, as was ONE VISION.
Most realistic would be some further drop of THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES, maybe even RADIO GA-GA, and i'm pretty sure they'll at least try KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE or NOW I'M HERE.
Seems like Brian did notice many of their fans disliking the weak I WANT TO BREAK FREE. And BAD COMPANY is a really big one. I'm very happy with that. Let's wait for more good news ;)

I'm not saying its beyond all possibility (although I don't think there's one chance in a million they will take TATDOOL or Radio Ga Ga out of the set). I just know the tedency of some on this message board to indulge their most outrageous paranoid hyperbole, and so if I can head off someone going to the NJ or LA shows and coming out convinced that the band has betrayed them or sold them out because they didn't play "Sweet Lady" or "Hang on in There", I want to do so. I honestly think the set I saw in Aruba is the set for North America, with room for some minor alterations. I'm not rooting for no changes; I'm just trying to put the bar of expectation at something reasonable so that as few people go completely off their gourd apeshit as possible if they don't play "March of the Black Queen".

That was a terrific addition. It killed. And the band played it beautifully.
